终究

zhōngjiù · HSK 7

eventually

🏁 终 (end) + 究 (get to the bottom of) = when all is investigated, the end result; eventually

终 means end or final; 究 means to look into or get to the bottom of something. Together they point to the conclusion you reach after everything plays out: in the end, after all. Sound start: zhōng like the gong that ends a round.
